CHAPTER 55

Let them all die and go to hell
55:1-23

To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, [A Psalm] of David.

1 Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.

Listen to my prayer, God, and don't hide from it.

2 Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;

Listen to me. Hear my complaint.

I'm making a noise here.

3 Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me.

My enemies hate me.

4My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.

5 Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.

My heart hurts. [1]

6And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest

7 Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in the wilderness. Selah.

8 I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest.

I said to myself, "I wish I had wings. Huzzah."

9 Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city.

10 Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it.

11 Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets.

12 For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:

13 But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.

14 We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company.

Destroy them and divide their tongues.

15Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.

Let them die and go to hell. [2]

16 As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.

But me, I'm going to ask God and he'll save me.

17 Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.

18 He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me.

19 God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.

20 He hath put forth his hands against such as be at peace with him: he hath broken his covenant.

21 The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.

I'll pray and cry and he'll hear my voice.

22Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.

God won't let the righteous be moved. [3]

23But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.

But you, God. Destroy them.

Don't let them live out half of their lives. [4]
